"'Tain't the first time you've said so, and nain't the first time you've been wrong," aaid Jotham. with a calmness of demeanor that was beautiful to behold.

"Said somethie about wantint a man to come and hoe them early potatoes. Be to go ?" "Certainly—of course. Neighbors should act like neighbors,. especially in the coma try." And Mr.Wiggleton sighed and wished that he was not too corpulent andunused to labor tohoe the Widow Palm:Mars early potatoes himself. But he did the next best thing ; he went over to look at the field after Jotham had hoed it, and gave the widow good advioe concerning a certain rotky uphill bit of sheep -pasture that belonged to the cottage farm. • . . "I'd lay tbat down in winter rye, if I were you, ma'am," said Mr. Wiggleton. "I am HO much obliged to you," said ihe eidow, sweetly, "Since poor dear Hobart • was taken away I have no one to advise me on these subjects." • • And kr. Wiggleton thought how soft tied pretty her bine eyes looked as she spoke. "Ob, pshaw 1" said Jotham, leaning on the handle of his hoe, "winter rye ain'b tne sort o' crop for that spot. Spring wheat's the only thing to grow there." "Hold your tongue, Jotharan" cried his employer, testily, "Yes. sir, I will," said Jotham, with a broad grin over Mr. Wiggleton's shining bald head. And about these hyacinth beds, ma'am," said the latter, recovering his equanimity, "111 come over this evening if you will al - ow I shall be deliphted," interposed the widow, with a smile that showed a set of teeth as white and regular as pawls. "This evening, ma'am," repeated Mr. Wiggleton, with a bow,"and we'll sketch out a diagram. Hyacinths have to be humored, Mrs. Palinleel." " So I have always heard," said the widow. That evening, after Mr. Wiggleton had returned from discussing the momentous question of sandy soil, bulbous roots, and crescents and oiroles, he found Jotham on the front porch contentedly breathing the flower-scented air. "A vete/ pretty woman that Mrs. Palm - leaf, Jotham," said the employer; not beeause there was any special congeniality of soul between himself and his farm-hand, but because he (mulct have talked to the gate- post if Jotham hadn't happened to be there. "Well, nobody doubta that, as ever I heerd on,' said Jotham, with his elbows on his knees, and his face complacently turned toward the full moon. "And she can't be over thirty ?" "So I should a said myself," assented Jotham. "I'm glad she has taken the cottage on a long lease, Jotham," pursued Mr. Wiggle- ton'"I like good neighbors." "Most folks doein" observed Jotham. And he got up, shaking himself like a great Newfoundland dog, and went into the house, leaving Mr. Wiggleton to the COM- panionebip of his own cogitations.

There was sold at auction in Londonrecent- ly the famous "Woman'e God" of the Hin- dus which has been supposed lost for pears, and which has had a curious history of travel and concealment. It is very old, and stood for more than a thousand years in a temple at Delhi, where women desirous of bearing chili:hen went to pray before it. Rivers of tears and the moat agonised supplications have been spent upon that little jewelled fetich, for to a Hindu woman to remain child - leas means the forfeit of her husband's love, to be deprived of all possessions and frequent- ly to be tortured as being bewitohed and. the dwelling of evil spirits. The base Of the i fetich s solid gold, in which are set; nine gems or charms- a diamond, ruby, sapphire, chrysoberyl, cat's-eye, coral, pearl, hyaoin- thine garnet, yellow sapphire and emerald. Theyeare rudely out but are large ann brit: liant. Roend the apex, of the gold pyramid is a plinth set with diamonds. On the apex is a topaz nearly two inohe iti lengtla and half an inch in depth, shaped into horseshoe form. In the centre of the horseshoe the great chrysoberyl cat's-eye stands upright. This is nearly an inch in height, and shaped like a pear. An extremely mobile opal eseent light crosses the length of the stone in an oblique direction. When Bad Shah Bahadour Shah, the last king of Delhi, was captured and exiled to the Andaman Isles, his queen secreted this gem, and it was sup- posed for years to have been leak Finally she, havingbeen impoverished and in distress, sold it and is was held by a merchant for a number of years more, the world still believ- ing it lost. When it was advertised Lor dale one of the Hindu princes sent an agent to London to purchase is at any price for his favorite wife' who was childless, It was fint ally knockeddown to him for £12,000. Wherein They Oanie Short. The drill-instruotor of an old regiment of the line—one of the old stamp of martinet sergeants—who was the terror of every remit, and the remorseless tyrant of the awkward squad, was putting a firing party through the funeral exercise. Having open- ed the ranks so as to admit the passage of the supposed cortege between them, the instructor ordered the men to rest on their arms reversed. Then, by way of pretties) explanation he walked slowly doyen the lane formedby the two ranks, saying, as he moved, "Now I am the corpse. Pay atten- tion." Having reached the end of the party, he turned round, regarded them steadily with a sortitinising eye for a moment or two, and then remarked, in a most solemn tone of voice, " Your' ands is right, and your 'eadfis right , but you avengot at look of regret you ought to 'ave." Overolothing the Body. While there are many who neglect to supply themselves with a sufficient amount of clothing during the cold months, there are those who overdo the matter and on the first approach cf oold waather surround themselves with, woolens and furs and extra wraps to such an extent that they are kept in a state bordering on perspiration the whole winter through. Such imprudence as regarda clothing occasions a relaxed condi tion of the tikirt and of the body in general and renders the individual exceedingly sus- ceptible to colds, and hence should be avoid- edi—tChristian Gaardian.

The germs of the disease And their way to wells, water °purees, and other sourcesof water suppfy, and thus other per- sons become infected. This means of spreading the clieeage would be wholly check- ed if the disoharge of every eyphoid.fever patient were properly and thoroughly disin- feoted. A saturated solution of copperas, or sulphate of zino, will probably destroy the germs of typhoid, but there are other more positive means of dieinfection. We will mention two, as the most valuable :- A solution of two drams of contain subli- mate to the gallon of water, will destroy all known germs. The objection to this disinfen taut is that it is so poisonous that children, or others, are likely to be killed, by accident- ally aveallovving even a very small portion of the solution. Another and perfeotly safe method, whioh, by recent experiments, has been shown to be thoroughly effective, is the application of boiling water to Nee infectious disoharges. Careful experiments ehow that the addl. tion.to the infectious material of four times its volume of boiling water, will efleootually destroy the typhoid germs. This hot is well worth knowing, as boiling water can alwaya be procured, while other disinfectants are not in every case imam- diately accessible. 6 Children's Clothing, One of the first requirements of healthful clothing is that it allow unrestrained aotion of every organ of the body, This is absol- utely essential fot perfect development, so long as the body is undergoing the process of growth. We believe that mothers often nnvvillingly violate this principle in the dressing of their children, by compelling them to wear clothing wlaioh they have p.artially outgrown, bat which is not suffi• °many worn to be discarded. Tight sleeves, tight bands, tight waist, etc., which have become suoh from the child's increased size, are certainly quite as harmful as are those purposely so constructed; and added to i this s the fact that the bones and muscles of the tender little ones are far more BR& ceptible to the construction of tight clothing than are those of persons of older growth. The clothing of olaildren should always be so made thateit oan readily be enlarged to accommodate the growing form and should never fit as Bungler as noo to allow perfect • freedoni of movement to every organ. What- ever garments are worn aboub for the ohest and waist,- ehould always permit of an un- restrained, full inspiration, and it would. be an excellent plan if mothers would frequent- ly test the child's breathing ia apaoi ty , by placing a tape -measure around its waist when in its night clothing, and allowing it to take a full mspiration, noting the number of inches' expansion, and then adjusting its clothing to correspond with the measure of the full inspiration, allowing -one inch or two more for growth. •'Indigestion. Indigestion is something more thansimply an inconvenience. A body which is served with food by a dyspeptic stomach, reoeives very poor material of which to rebuild its tissues. Nono of the food is perfectly digest ed, and henoe ihe quality of all the tissues is deteriorated. Besides this, the septic changes which take place in the stomach and bowels, produce various poisonous sub stances, which are absorbed along with the food, and which poison and irritate the brain and nerves, and produoe various dis- orders and . discomforts which are oferimes attributed tot/tiler causes. Even the imper- fectly digested food is breated by the system as waste or poisonous material, and instead of being used to repair the wastes of the body, is exoreted, or thrown off by the liver and kidneys With the waste elements •of the system. • . • The stomach sometimes holds up wonder fully under the heavy burdens laid upon it and digests a much larger amount of food • than is necessary to suppl 7 the wants in the body. In such cases, the excessive amount of nutriment reoeived is either at once excreted, or aocumulates in the thanes, • clogging the various organs, and interfering with their proper activity. Accumulations of this sort ere the chief cause of gout, rheumatism, biliousness, and numerous other disorders which are usually attributed to other causes. • Eating when tired, and engaging in active mental or physical exercise immediately after a hearty meal, are two ef the most oom mon sine against dietetic reotitude ht. our modern civilization. An old medical writer tells as that a hundred years ago io was the custom among the merchants of Edinburg to take two hours' " nooning" for dinner in the middle of the day, during which time the shops were closed, and all business suspended. It is quite hopeless to attempt a resurrection of this good oldfsehioned custom in these fast tiroee ; and the best thing we can suggest is that no hearty meal should be eaten during the active businese hours of the day, unless at least an hour or two csn be allowed after the meal has been taken, to give the stomach opportunity to get the digestive process well under way, —[Good Health. Chilblains, bhysician says.—A gentleman called at my dace the other day, suffering with what his phyeiciang had termed ecsema of the feet. The heali and sides of the feet were red and slightly mwollen, and exceed- ingly painful. The trouble began with freezing the feet several years ago, as we found by inquiry. The case was evidently one of chronic erythema, an inflammation or congestion of the akin, or what might not improperly be termed chronio chilblains, The following treatment cured him : I.

Thus the nerves are under the constant Mecum of the drug, and much injury to the system results. Moreover, the oigarrette smoker uses a very considerable amount of tobacco during the oourse of a day. Five Ways to Stop a Cold. • i. Bathe the feeb in hob water and drink a pint of hot lemonade. Then sponge with salt water and renaain in a warm room. 2, Bathe the face in very hot water every five minutes for an hour. 3. Snuff up the nostrils hot salt water every three hours. 4. Inhale ammonia or menthol. 5. Take four hours' active exercise in the open air. A 10 grain dose of quinine will usually break up a cold in the beginning.

When a Chinese girl is married she must Fait four months before etiquette allows her to pay her first visit to her mother, but after this initiatory oall, ehe may go to the home of her parents at any time. The Popular Science Monthly relates a pathetic instance counected wih this marriage custom. A Chinese woman had one daughter, an only child, of whom she was passionately fond, and this girl was married at the age of sixteen. When the first four months were nearly past, her mother's neighbor died, aid as death is said to bring uncleanliness to shese associated with it, the bride's visit to her old home had to be delayed for a hundred days, least she should become con- taminated. Before this period had passed, the bride's mother -in law died, and she was obliged to go into mourning for three yeara. Just be- -ore she put off mourning, a son was born to ber, and -that made it necessary that the visit should be again delayed. Meanwhile her mothen whose hearb grew more and more hungry for her presence., beoatne nervously ill, and subject to halluce nations: under which ehe imagined she saw her child entering her door. She declared that she could distinctly perceive her face, discern every detail in her dress, and hear the jingle of her bangles. "0 my child, have you oome 1" she would expolaim, but when she clasped. the vision, she found only empty air within her arnos. At length the daughter, who had all these yettas been but two miles away, really came to visit her mother. The two einbraced each other and wepb aloud, and thereafter the mother's hallucination ceased. • DOnld Not be Granted. An Ottawa despateli says :—An American barque called the Mary Hasbrook, betted for Boston, put into Halifax the other day for the purpose of being fitted with a new set of sails, which had just been brought into port by another U. S. yeesel. The cap- tain of the Hasbrook applied to the acting Collector of Customs to be permitted to enter the sails free of duty on the ground that they were for use on his own vessel, but this privilege is one which hag been denied to Canadian vessels under the same drown - stances in 'United States Forte, on the gonad that there is no law to permit suoh a con- oession being made. The (Mateyo Depart- ment here, being equally without legal authority to warrant such an act, has been obliged to decline to give the permiggion asked for, , It may be stated, however, that some time time' ago the Minister of Customs wrote the Treasury Department at Washington, offering in cases where United States oaten utter Canadian ports to be refitted and have to sena to the United States for sails or any other article necessary to the continuance of the voyage, to allow free entre of equipment on condition that a like privilege was ace oorded Canadian motels in 'United States ports, but as yet he has received no reply to his communication.
